#2 Neymar getting back on track
After struggling to score for almost three months, Neymar had gone on to score in consecutive games for Barcelona. He was producing effective performances but lacked composure in front of goal but now with the Brazilian back on the scoring sheet again, it will see some pressure off Lionel Messi's back. Neymar was a constant threat to La Real's fullback and terrorised him for the entire game.
A quick counter attack led Barcelona to win a penalty thanks to a brilliant dribble from the Brazilian which involved a nice bit of skill to get away from his defender and draw him into committing a foul. He had many chances to increase his and the club's lead but could not muster a good shot. He received a yellow card for simulation when the Brazilian went down in the box and it was a clear penalty as the keeper had fouled Neymar after the ball had gone.
